How long should I stay?

Ding ding ding! Rontonio has it,

I'm on 250, the pole fleet.

The 36" sleeper is, as far as I can tell, is attempted to be justified by the bunk rack, but again, my T800 had the same bunk rack with a 54" sleeper, so... no.

 

I'm not 100% but I think that these new 36" sleepers are a fairly new deal on this pole fleet.

And honestly in the long run I think it's going to cost them drivers.

I can see myself dealing with this little tiny sleeper for a while, but definitely not long term, not years, no way.

And I haven't raised heel about it with my dispatcher for a couple reasons:

1- ain't sheet he can do about it,

&

2- I don't see the point of whining about every little thing. Trucking ain't a job for pansies, flatbedding even less so.

With my dispatcher, I save my #####ing for things that matter, and that he can have an effect on. Otherwise, what's the point, other than to make him think I'm just a whiny little #####, like you guys all do by now.

 

Quit cryin or we'll buy you the 18" sleeper straight truck!

No kidding!

 

I was talking with this Odins Dog guy the other day, said he put up with that tiny sleeper for over eight months, then had enough of it, and left.

 

Where he at now ? U know ?

 

I don't. It turns out he and I were driving on the same fleet, are from the same general area, and didn't know each other. It was a random chat at a truck stop while waiting in line, we started chatting. No idea where he went though.

 

U ever run up here to montana ?? Im usually hanging around missoula pretty much everyday

 

I live up here, up north of Kalispell. Actually, that's part of the trouble I have finding driving jobs, a lot of companies won't hire from this area. That, and I've done too much job jumping.

 

Very nice !! U like otr or looking to do more local stuff ?
